How do you get rid of post-acne marks?
Post-acne marks, also known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, are the flat dark or discolored spots that stick around after a breakout heals. The good news is they usually fade over time, and the right products can help speed that along.
Ingredients like vitamin C that target discoloration do the heavy lifting, and a gentle exfoliant like salicylic acid can work alongside them to smooth your skin texture and clear the pores where new breakouts start. Daily sunscreen matters just as much, since sun exposure deepens existing marks and can stall progress. A board-certified dermatologist can help pinpoint what's driving your breakouts and build a routine around your skin type.
